“The Comedy Store Open Mic is So Mean!”

I hear that a lot - you’ve probably said (whined) it, yourself.  If so, here’s what you should do:

  1. Try doing a bar gig outside of LA where angry rednecks are annoyed you’re the reason the sound isn’t on the NASCAR race on the TVs at the bar, because they’d rather be watching that than you
  2. Try doing a bar gig inside LA where the crowd is aggressively indifferent to your presence.
  3. Build a time machine, go back 6 years and do the Store open mic then
  4. Go back another 6 years and do THAT open mic
  5. Do any open mic besides the one your 6 best buddies go to and laugh at everything you say.

If you still think it’s too hard, maybe just quit comedy.
